Got a call... hung up during my outgoing message. Assumed robocaller. Only showed "California" on caller ID. Appears as if a local call, which is typical for modern day spammers/scammers (to spoof a local number). Blocking, for sure.
got one of these. they are targetting people who don't know that "directory assistance" doesn't originate calls. like email scams, they are only targetting the most vulnerable marks.
Called my Redwood City landline three times now. I made the mistake of answering the first one which had the characteristic delay of popping over to a telemarketer. Hung up.
